Can someone far more involved in the research than me comment on the validity of this research and how this compares to other viruses and infections? As far as I understand, basically all infections cause a degree of impairment to energy production. Oxidative stress, which is induced directly and indirectly during infection, has a downregulating effect on energy production as to not result in the body potentiating the negative consequences of runaway stress to the cells. This is due to energy production directly producing reactive oxygen species as a natural waste product.
